The final Season 1 DLC character for Guilty Gear Strive has been revealed — and it's none other than Testament. Another returning fighter from previous Guilty Gear titles, Testament still wields a lethal looking scythe, but has received a bit of a makeover. Strive's animation still blows us away.
Testament will be available to Season Pass holders on the 28th March, and they drop alongside a new stage: White House Reborn.
Testament might be the last Season 1 character, but this isn't the end of DLC support for Strive. Arc System Works has also announced that Season 2 begins later this year.
Oh, and that promised 'Digital Figure' update is hitting on the 28th, too. This new mode will let you make dioramas using in-game character models, props, and backgrounds. You can find all of the relevant information in the trailer below.

Crossplay in Season 2 baaaybeeeeee!!!
She has a bloody scythe and looks edgy, definitely a buy from me! Pretty hyped for season 2
@Nepp67 It may shock you, but it's they not she.
Testament is a non-binary gear.
He went from Emo Goth to Sophisticated Goth, he's been hanging around Slayer and Sharon too much.

@Nepp67 Considering the Guilty Gear Wiki itself uses they/them pronouns, I’d probably go with what they use. Also the ‘trap’ term is fairly gross.

@Nepp67 I know they’re a fictional character but if you have this attitude now, I really dread to think what you’d be like with actual people with actual feelings.

I haven't watched the trailer, but thank you guys for telling me there they, I'm not really versed in recent GG's lore, so I would have called them a he, so thank you guys, I will edit this when I watch it.
@Nepp67 I don't blame you for not knowing, you didn't know, but now you do, and I know there not real, but at least show a little respect for the real people you did offend.

@Nepp67 Hey, if its a error its a error, you do you man.
@Nepp67 Actually the Japanese site does not refer to Testament as male: third person pronouns are ungendered in Japanese and thus the default translation is "him," the English pronoun often used when gender is unknown (the manga "Land of the Lustrous" has had similar issues related to this). Using Google translate on the site simply uses this default gendering, making it seem the site is saying "he" in relation to Testament.
What we do know, however, is that first-person pronouns are largely gendered: in the Japanese trailer Testament uses a first-person pronoun - either "watashi" or "atashi." Both of these are feminine, which when combined with the way the English site describes Testament seems to make them much more likely to be non-binary than male.
He's been gone for how many games now?
Now if we can get A.B.A. and Zappa back too
It's funny, previous artwork of Testament has depicted them as having a very definite masculine body type. Even their facial features were very masculine and so they seemed to have a kind of bishonen look. Testament now seems to look much more feminine. Are we going to see Poison level debates which will lead to the shrug of God?
2 news about Guilty Gear Strive and STILL NO NEWS about the THE FIRST KOF 15 DLC. ☝🏼
Not a fan of the redesign. Strive just isn't for me.
@Nintendo4Sonic what do you mean? Team garou is out and team south town is coming in may. 2 more teams coming later in the year.
@Nem i think they meant the site push squere no articles on KOF while they have articles for GG.
@usaislie that's right.
The review was also very late.
I think the news section is a bit low on this site compared to nintendolife.
Things are often missing here, but there a 10 news about GT7 in a few days.
Yeah, ok, the servers were down, now it's solved. No need to bring another news about that.
@Nintendo4Sonic yeah i can see some games here gets no love at all.
I don't understand the reason, besides KOF is strong game not sure why no news about it here
@usaislie Right and some days, it's like there's nothing to report about in the news.
It’s wicked seeing a character from the older games reappear! Now I just need Cliff and I’ll be golden. A form of Justice could be cool too… and Johnny would be rad… There’s just too many good Guilty Gear characters, I want them all
@usaislie Oh, i see. I don't really care what push square wants to report. They aren't my only news source. But, i see the point.
@3MonthBeef not entirely sure, the devs used they/them to refer to them, meaning they are likely NB. Guess we gotta wait and see when they come out
Still a dude just in a fembot skin and voice modulators. He is a gear after all. I am glad he's back. used to be one of my mains.
Loving Testament so far—they are amazing 🔥🔥🔥
